Description

ABSTRACT:
A versatile cardedge receptacle comprises an insulative housing (10) having contacts (16,18) with one or more cantilevered contact beams (20) and one or more cantilevered parallel retention arms (22) and/or lateral shoulders (36,38) with bearing surfaces (50,52) for application of seating force necessary to press-fit install a discrete (preassembled) receptacle into a wiring panel (72) in a single step. The bearing surfaces (50,52) are positioned colinearly with their respective press-fit terminals (26,28), and can be accessed by the seating tool (56), either internally through the card slot (12) or externally from the sides (62) of the housing. The undersides of contact shoulders (36,38) can be used to facilitate forcible extraction of the entire connector from the wiring panel (72) with a footed tool (77).
